Pont (2002) has studied the type material of "fasculifera", a taxon that has been originally published in synonymy of Fannia manicata. Pont (2002) demonstrated that the type material of "fasculifera", however, does not belong to the Fannia manicata, but to Fannia scalaris. Therefore, the name has been placed in the synonymy of the present species.

The problematic taxon Fannia rabdionata Karl, 1940 may be a synonym of the present species, but rabdionata is only known from the single male caught in Finland (the holotype), which is lost. Wang et al. (2007) have assigned another single male from China to this species, but since the original type has been lost and the original description is incomplete, the assignment of further specimens (especially from far away from the type locality) must remain tentative.
